I did have one recent experience while interning. I treated an 80 year old woman who had Alzheimer’s. Her 45 year old daughter brought her in and they both had massages. I was lucky enough to treat the 80 year old. She was quite nice, and hard of hearing. She had never had a massage so I was always trying to explain to her what I was going to do before I did it. Unfortunately for the client in the next room, I had to speak quite loudly to my client (louder than I normally would in the environment). I had to help my client get dressed and put on her shoes, which I gladly did. Her daughter was quite thankful that I was so kind to her mother. She was very generous with her gratuity. The end
